Toothpaste comes in a lot of kinds, colors, and flavors. There’s gel toothpaste (shouldn’t they be calling it toothgel?), toothpaste with a trio of colors, mouthwash-infused toothpaste, toothpaste with whitening beads and glittery bits, and so on and so forth.

But if you live a minimalist life and want to do the same with your toothpaste, then here’s a viable option for you: Nihilist Toothpaste.

It’s a brand spankin’ new toothpaste without any frills. It’s advertised as having no color and no flavor, so if you’re not a fan of all the colored and flavored toothpaste out there, then this is the one you should go for.

If you care enough to actually buy things, Nihilist Toothpaste is available in 2.5-ounce tubes and is priced at $5(USD) over at Archie McPhee.

Toothpaste doesn’t sound like the most palatable thing in the world, but some people have taken it upon themselves to come up with the right formulation to make it edible. It’s called Neonisin and it’s going to be available in Japan this summer.

The active ingredient in the edible toothpaste is Nisin, which is a peptide that’s harvested from lactic bacteria. This is often found in soy bean curd. Natural flavoring, plum extract, mint oil, and corn-based thickeners are then added into the mix to create the toothpaste. In some ways, I guess you could say that Neonisin is basically just a tofu toothpaste – or Tofupaste for short.

When released, Neonisin toothpaste will be cost about $8.90(USD) for a 2.5 ounce tube.
